Summary

Any programmer working with text files today needs a way to deal with Microsoft Word documents and their underlying Rich Text Format. RTF is notoriously difficult to work with, and our handy quick reference is the only book available on what many developers call "this maddeningly unstructured format." Small and easy to use on the job, RTF Pocket Guide focuses on the "workhorse" codes that programmers can't do without, including text style codes, paragraph formatting codes, and page formatting codes-all with many examples of real use.
